"Afflictions find out our weak points, and this makes us attend to them.  Being tried, we discover our failures and then going to God about those failures we are helped to be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (Spurgeon).

"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now we see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."

1 Peter 1:6-9

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh in us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:  for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
